I’m trying to find a book about the design of timber frames. All the timber frame books that I’ve seen (and I own copies of most of them) have lots of pretty pictures of the end result, but nothing about the nuts and bolts of design. An interesting phrase to use (nuts and bolts) when discussing something that has neither!
Anyway, does anybody know of a good how-to book for calculating sizes of members, detailing joints, etc? Any help would be appreciated.
